BUILT-IN HOODS

HOW TO INSTALL IT

THE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR HOOD IS ONLY ENSURED IF IT IS INSTALLED BY SPECIALIZED TECHNICIANS. ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE VARY ACCORDING TO THE TWO TYPES OF HOOD: DUCT-OUT AND RECIRCULATING.

MANY ELICA MODELS CAN OPERATE IN BOTH VERSIONS. WHEN INSTALLING YOUR HOOD, BEAR IN MIND THESE SIMPLE BASIC RULES:

FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS SHOWN IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL OF THE PRODUCT;

CONNECT THE DUCT-OUT HOOD TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A DEDICATED PIPE: MINIMIZED LENGTH AND ABSENCE OF BENDS ENSURE BETTER PERFORMANCE;

COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM THE COOKTOP SPECIFIED IN THE MANUAL, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING WORKING PARTS AND ENSURING PEOPLE’S SAFETY;

MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTLET CHE IS CLOSE TO THE PRODUCT FOR CONNECTION.

IN THE EVENT OF DIFFICULTIES, SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM A RELIABLE SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN.

ASSEMBLY

VARIES ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF HOOD, DUCT-OUT OR RECIRCULATING

DUCT-OUT HOOD

THE DUCT-OUT HOOD EXHAUSTS AIR TO THE OUTISDE. THIS IS THE MOST USED TYPE, BECAUSE IT ENSURES HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH CAPACITY AND LOW NOISE LEVEL.

RECIRCULATING HOOD

THE RECIRCULATING HOOD REMOVES BAD ODOURS BY MEANS OF A DEDICATED CHARCOAL FILTER AND REINTRODUCES AIR INTO THE KITCHEN. THIS TYPE IS SUITABLE FOR ROOMS WITH NO EXTRACTOR DUCT, AFFORDS AIR SAVING AND AVOIDS THERMAL LOSSES TO THE OUTSIDE.

TAKING CARE OF IT

TO ENSURE THE LONG LIFE AND CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR HOOD IN BOTH DUCT-OUT AND RECIRCULATING VERSIONS, THE FIRST STEP IS TO KEEP THE FILTERING SYSTEM IN GOOD CONDITION.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FILTERS:

THE GREASE FILTER PROTECTS YOUR HOOD BY TRAPPING PARTICLES OF GREASE. THE ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL GREASE FILTER REQUIRES PERIODIC CLEANING BY HAND WITH NEUTRAL DETERGENT OR IN THE DISHWASHER AT LOW TEMPERATURE (*). THE PAPER GREASE FILTER MUST BE REPLACED EVERY MONTH DEPENDING ON USE.

THE ACTIVE CHARCOAL FILTER INSTALLED ON RECIRCULATING HOODS, TRAPS ODOUR PARTICLES OF AIR. REMEMBER TO REPLACE IT EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. LONG LIFE FILTERS HAVE A LONGER LIFE: THEY MUST BE REPLACED EVERY TWO YEARS.

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS WILL HELP YOU KEEP YOUR HOOD IN PERFECT CONDITION.

(*) always follow the instructions for washing the filter on the manual of the product

GLOSSARY

Variety of components and additional parts for a better operation of your range hood.

Ambient light

Lighting as a distinctive and defining element to enhance the environment.

Air outlet

Indicates the diameter of the hole in the wall through which the ducting is routed.

Back aspiration

Expulsion of air to the rear of the hood, obviating the need to install an exposed flue for the duct-out version.

Consumption

Unit of measurement, expressed in watts, of the total electrical consumption of the hood: motor and lighting.

Chef control

An intuitive and innovative hood control menu for adjusting suction power according to the type of cooking in progress.

Code of conduct

Elica adheres to the code of conduct promoted by Ceced, the association of household appliance manufacturers, thus ensuring compliance of the capacity and noise level data published in the catalogue with the european measuring standards.

Charcoal filter

Fitted in recirculating hoods, odour filters, consisting of active carbons, capture and retain the odours generated by cooking. They must be changed regularly to ensure correct operation of the hood.

Capacity

The suction power or capacity (expressed in m³/h) is the volume of air sucked by a hood in one hour.

Duct-out

Range hood operation mode to exhaust cooking fumes and vapours to the outside by means of a duct. This is the most widely used type because it ensures high performance and low noise level.

Digital display

A practical digital display that can be read in any lighting conditions.

Ducting

Ducts for exhausting air to the outside.

Elica Deep Silence

Eds3 (an Elica patent) is an extractor system that can reduce noise levels by 35%.

Evolution

An Elica patent. It is a compact system consisting of motor, filter, lighting and controls, with different aesthetic possibilities.

Innovative odour filters with high filtering efficiency (87%) and average service life of 3 years, which can be reconditioned in a few easy steps. They also reduce noise levels.

Lighting

All hoods are equipped with lights for the cooktop and certain models have additional ambient lighting. This heading indicates the type and number of bulbs and their power consumption, expressed in watts.

Led light

Led, an innovative lighting system offering high efficiency, quality and energy savings.

Long life carbon filters

Magic Wand

A simple, elegant control wand with different coloured indicator lights to denote the functions selected.

Noise level

Noise generated by the hood in operation, expressed in decibels (db). The figures refer to minimum and maximum speed and, where applicable, timed intensive speed.

Perimeter aspiration

Suction concentrated around the perimeter of the suction surface of the extractor hood, which reduces consumption and noise level.

Pressure

The capacity of the extractor hood to push the sucked air through the ducts. The pressure is measured in pa (pascal. 1 pa = 1 n/m²).

Pure function

The hood is started for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. In low-noise mode, the function can also be activated when you are not cooking and it serves to aerate the room.

Purifier

A multifunctional device that removes dust, pollen and bacteria from the air; its special design makes it a decorative object and a light source too.

Recirculating

Range hood operation mode to clean the sucked air by means of charcoal filters and reintroduce it into the kitchen.

Remote control

An elegant remote control for remotely controlling suction power and lighting intesity.

Smart installation

A special fastening system for easy wall-mounting of the hood.

Soft light control

A soft control panel with soft lighting to indicate the function selected.

Synairgy

An innovative electronically controlled motor system capable of optimizing suction performance, power consumption and noise level.

Touch control

A control device that responds to a gentle caress with the fingertips.
